[Solved] How do I make cursor in the beginning of masked input during focus?

[bemara57]

I'm using a mask input that's 10 digits long. The annoyance is when I click in the box ready to type, it puts the cursor in the middle of the input (or whereever I click). How can I make it so that when I click in the input box, it starts the cursor at the beginning like it does with the text input (only when it's empty).

I've never done this before, so it's just what I'd try first:

Make a function for the OnFocus of the testbox.

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1"  runat="server">
    <ClientEvents OnFocus="Focus" />
</telerik:RadTextBox>

Then make the javascript function that uses the client programming to set the caret position.

<script type="text/javascript">
 function Focus(sender, eventArgs)
 {
   sender.set_caretPosition(0);
 }
</script>

That's what I'd try first.

Hello bemara57,

Have you also tried the SelectionOnFocus property of the RadInput control? You will find an example below:
